Christianity being a universal religion is an integral part of India's history. The
author traces the beginnings of this history from the earliest efforts of Christian
missionaries, the peoples' response, and brings this narrative to more recent times.

The book is related to the importance of national unity & development, and
Christianity in union with the nation. In this attempt, one has to adopt a new
methodological paradigm reversing the traditional mindset of studying Christianity in the
region from the perspective of Western Christianity. Its starting point will be from the
outlook of the people and inclusive national consciousness.

Also, this learned work brings out the contributions made by the churches towards
education and literature, medical service, other humanitarian services and peace
initiatives; and the role played by the indigenous leaders in the continued grown of the
churches.
